HAY DISTRICT RACES.
The weather Favorable, Eut tn G
Crowd Small.

SAN Francisco, December PA
beautiful day, an excellent track and
fine racing programme ought to
have brought out a larger crowd than
assembled to-day at the Bay District
Association track. The first event
was double team trot, which was
holly contested by the following
teams: II. Martins Ida and mate,
J. H. Nichols Lucy and mate, and
l.. Shauers' Diamond and mate. The
first heat was won by Lucy and mate,
who led from tap of the bell. Time,
2.56t4.
Following this came the first heat
of a best three in five, mile race, for
a 5000 purse, for which Boss, Cling
and Emma G.. were entered, the last
being decidedly the pool favorite.
Cling, contrary to general expectation,
won the heat in 80, with Emma &.
close second, Boss making lone
some trail.
The second heat of the double-team
trot came next, and was an exciting
contest. The heat was won by Dia-
mond and mate in 2;4354; but so
close was the contest between the
winners and Ida and mate that many
spectators thought it was dead heat.
Heat number two, between Cling,
Boss and Emma T., was won by the
former in 2:201s, Boss being near at
hand at the finish, while Emma was
within a short distance. Boss made
a had break at the first turn and was
pulled toward the fence, leaving dis
courasfng gap, which he came very
near filling before reaching to score.
The next heat OF the double team
trot was won by Ida and mate,
known as the Oregon team, in :43
Emma G., Cling and Boss we're
brought together for the third heat. Inc
mare and Cling trotted abreast Tor
-eighths OF the heat, the Peta-
luna horse apparently, making no
struggle for the heat, which was won
by few inches by Emma u, BOSS
lust getting homo before the distance
flag might have been dropped. llme'
2:2814.
The double-team trot was won by
Oregon, who came in2 $50.
The fifth was a dead heat between
Boss and Cling. Time, but not for
the second, 2:291.
The fifth heat for double trotters
was won by Diamond and Mate In
2 :46. A foul was reported but not
granted.
Emma G. was withdrawn OH &C
count of lameness and the next heat
was a hot one between Boss and
Cling, the former winning by a clost
shave, SO to speak. Time, 2:39ls.
The sixth heat for double teams wal
won by the Oregon team in 2 :5614.
Neither of the races was finished a
night and the progra mme was post
r~onad until Monday.

Chicago w. st. Louis.

A well contested game was played
at Central Park to-day, the opposing
teams being Chicago and st. Louis.
The White Stockings felt very sore at
the defeat they received last Saturday
from the Browns, and when they
entered upon the diamond they had
high hopes of winning the game.
RYAN and Foutz were the opposing
pitchers, and both twirled the sphere
with great effect, Foutz especially
showed up in fine trim, and every ball
that crossed the plate was a hot one.
St. Louis went to bat first, and
through heavy batting three OF their
men crossed the plate. In the
same inning the Chieagos also
did some heavy batting, but sue
ceeded in sending only two men
around the bases. In the second in
ming both clubs started in for work
and for two innings it was impossible
for any player Of either club to make
a full circuit OF the bases. In the
fourth inning Wonder scored another
run, and in the fifth inning Arson
scored the last run that was made
during the rest OF the game. The
Browns again failed to score until the
eighth inning, when Robinson sent
a ball over the left field fence for a
home run, thereby bringing in Welch,
who was on the thirdbag.
The score at the end of the game
stood: st. Louis, 6; Chicago, 3. The
playing Of Latham at third was COM
mendable, and drew forth grea!
amount OF applause from the audi
ence. The difficult fly catches Of
O'Neill, Maskrey and King also can
not pass without recognition. Taking
the the gan game as whole, it was very
brilliantly played, and it was not
until the last man was put out in the
ninth inning that the Browns could
claim the victory.

commodious apartments.

In Brief, and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and Won
derful things in existence. 1t is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, and many 9th
er things which ought not to be, have
made the American people nation Of
dyspeptics.
But Green's Augest Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy THEN meals and be happy.
Remember:-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower

peptic. Ask your druggist for bottle
